Re: Have you moved to Vista yet?
it depends on how much ram your graphics card has, among ther concerns. Windows 32 only "see" 1.99Gb of Ram on my system (I have 4)

What a larger amount of RAM does on a 32 bit OS is allow more of your 2.5G to be accessible and not tied up with system resources. So in fact if your only running 2G on a 32 bit OS then part of that is also not accessible. A 64 bit OS because it can support 4G+ of RAM does not suffer this limitation and allows better utilization of RAM. So ideally on my system having 8G of RAM would allow complete utilization of my lower 4G of RAM. Hope this makes sense to you and thanks for the post ![]() (And some links on 32 bit and 64 bit architecture for you if your interested) x86 architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 64-bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Have you moved to Vista yet?
Are the 64 bit version of Windows XP able to utilize more RAM than the 32 bit version? And how much?

That is not to say 2 X 2 Gig in a 32 Bit XP or Vista machine won't function well, it just won't use all the Rams capability. I was using 32 bit XP in a 512 X 2 machine and switched to XP Pro 64 bit and really noticed a new snappiness to the system, so more Ram isn't the only benefit to me. I on;y tried the Beta versions of 32 bit Vista and did not like them, but I suppose the 32 bit version with SP1 is a lot better than what I had seen.

Re: Have you moved to Vista yet?
using Win Server 2003 EE R2, mostly because it has 32GB of addressing space (which i need so all of my RAM could be read) and i don't want to transfer to a 64bit OS, mostly because of my music production applications which (in most cases) have only 32bit versions of them... besides, it's much faster than XP is and puts those extra GB of RAM i have into good use (not like XP, just leaves them there unused)...
have no intention of moving to Vista... ever...

Re: Have you moved to Vista yet?
XP64 is derived from Server 2003, I did not realize there were 32 bit versions of Server 2003.

Played with the pre Rc1 builds... Then made the switch at launch (not something i normally do) Happy with Ultimate x64 on my desktop and Home Premium X64 on the laptop.
